Do You Know Jesus

Do You KNOW Jesus?

I am not asking if you know "of" Jesus. I am not asking if you have heard of Jesus.
But, and consider carefully, Do You KNOW Jesus?

Have you accepted Him as the gift of salvation the Father provides? Have you placed faith, trust, & belief in Him as your Lord? Are you growing to learn more of Him? Do you spend more than 5 minutes a day with Him? 10? 15? 20? Have you been filled with His promise and seal (Eph1:13-14), the Holy Spirit?

In a Greek Lexicon, to know is translated from about 5 words, but I will use 2 here:

I. Epiginosko- to become thoroughly acquainted with, to know thoroughly to know accurately, know well to know to recognise by sight, hearing, of certain signs, to perceive who a person is to know i.e. to perceive to know i.e. to find out, ascertain to know i.e. to understand know fully1, known2, knows1, learned3, perceiving1, realized1, recognize5, recognized6, recognizing1, take note1, taking note1, understand3, understood1, well-known1.

II.Ginosko- to learn to know, come to know, get a knowledge of perceive, feel to become known to know, understand, perceive, have knowledge of to understand to know Jewish idiom for sexual intercourse between a man and a woman to become acquainted with, to know know how1, knowing3, known25, knows14, learn1, learned1, perceived1, perceiving2, put1, realize3, recognize7, recognized1, recognizing1, sure4, take notice1, unaware*2, understand11, understood6, virgin*1.

In light of these thorough definitions, consider how well you know Jesus. For I say unto you that you want to not only know Jesus, but to also be known of Jesus (see Matthew 7:23).

Today my heart just wants to make you sure. For out of all that you do and become for Jesus, and all that you gain from Jesus, it is most important that you learn of Christ (Matthew 11:29) and grow in grace and knowledge of Him (2Cor3:18).

Consider my words today and take time to get to know Him. He wants to get to know you and you learn of and know Him!
